Looks great. Which Dura Ace are these and which bb? I’d like to swap mine to this setup.

Upgrading the front dynamo light has been mentioned on the thread. Any recommendations on a replacement?

Edelux 2

ditto . Looks good doesn't it?

Anyone need / want a 60t chainring?

Got one to move on!

Can you simultaneously sell me a chain and post to NL. If so, I'm in I think

Of course.

(Ring only)

Got a load of parts to move on shortly, if your looking for stuff let me know..

Let me know what you want for it.. Not actually looking for parts, (although was tempted by your frame, I have a now-fucked 1993 Brompton that that could bring back to life :-)

My shiny 2017 Brompton would have the chainring. Not sue what else it should have :-)

Nice, thanks. That one looks good.

Cool so @graunch is having the 60t.

The parts I now have to shift are;

6 speed rear wheel, brand new, silver
Black edition 50t chainset
Black telescopic seatpost
Lagoon blue M type (2017+) stem
Black edition M type bar
Black shifters and brake levers
SP dynamo wheel and lights (black)
6 speed rear wheel - worn rim but can provide a spare in very good Nick.
Black mudguards/stays - SOLD
2019 black brakes - pair
2/6 speed tensioner
Pentaclip - silver

M2LX bike - custom

More to come.

How much for the:
SP dynamo wheel and lights (black)
?

Messaged.

I've got the super stiff rear bush on now, can't really tell much difference but i've also discovered i only had about 30psi in the tyres so it was equally squirmy this morning

95-100!

Yeah i normally run them at 100 but i must have not checked them for a week or so, didn't realise they'd drop so quickly

Had 3 punctures in a row on the rearof the brompton, previous two were slow, pump up in the morning, flat the following morning. This one, after a day of riding was solid. Then went bang in the office this morning.
Must be a fragment of something in the tire, but always check whenever I put in a new inner tube.
Will have to do a more thorough investigation.
Haven’t ridden it for five months or so, felt good to get out on it..

If I wanted to change the stock 2spd gearing from 12/16 to 12/17 or 12/18 would that work with the standard pusher?

I switched the 16T for a 17T with zero issues.

I just fitted some of these:

https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/handlebars/thorn-mk2-comfort-handlebars-254mm-clamp-620mm-silver/

to my 2017 M6L. Forty minute job from start to finish, perfect fit, I mean perfect and completely transforms the ride. You have the extra width for better control and part-way towards to S bars (as I have on my other Brompton).

Cables all fitted fine and even with the Brooks ergon grips it folds perfectly (in fact you can have the brake levers pointing much nearer the horizon than the floor and it fits in the new Brompton carry bag (the one with four wheels). It doesn't fit the old B bag.

Only one issue: It's no longer a Brompton. It doesn't look like a Brompton. It doesn't ride like a Brompton. It simply doesn't have the character any more. It's a weird thing. I love the ride, and don't like the look, it's too "normal". Will I change back? I might. I still have an S6LX for the true Brompton character, so I'll stick with the new bars for a while, see if I can fall in love with them. If not, the old ones go back on!

They are great bars though, much more "mountain bike" feel.
